Disclosed herein is a system and method for rendering media related content and web services. According to one or more embodiments, media content is rendered from a source. In one or more segments of the media source, at least one of an object, person or location is identified and additional information, relevant content or services about the person, object or location are displayed or made accessible while or after the media content is being rendered, on one or more devices and/or on one or more paired devices.

System and method for presenting content with time based metadata

Systems and methods are described for presenting content with time-based metadata. Methods may comprise transmitting the time-based metadata to a playback device. The time-based metadata may comprise a plurality of time stamps that are triggerable at different points of a timeline of content and one or more of the time stamps may be associated with corresponding metadata content. The playback device may trigger a sequence of time stamps of the time-based metadata and the triggered sequence of time stamps may be synchronized with the occurrence of one or more events in the timeline of the content.

Embodiments that relate to scaling a visual element displayed via a display device are disclosed. In one embodiment a method includes receiving and using gaze tracking data to determine gaze locations at which a user is gazing on the display device. Depth tracking data is received and used to determine that a user's pointer is at a predetermined location. In response, a locked gaze location on the screen is locked, where the locked gaze location includes at least a portion of the visual element. In response to locking the locked gaze location, the visual element is programmatically scaled by a predetermined amount to an enlarged size. A user input selecting the visual element is then received.

User interface programmatic scaling

Video assist control systems and methods for use in film/video production environments are presented which provide a link between production and post-production by storing and managing both recorded media and production information. Multiple video signals (including audio) may be selectively received and simultaneously digitally recorded and stored, along with time code information, with near instantaneous playback capability for multiple current and past recordings. Database functionality is incorporated to provide for entry and storage of information associated with each recording. The database provides searching capabilities to locate and retrieve past recordings, based on stored information, for playback review, editing and assembly of recordings or portions thereof. Editing functionality is provided including identification of action points, cut points for segmentation within recordings, and selection of active channels for selected segments upon playback so as to provide for sequential playback of assembled video portions from multiple recordings. Compositing functionality is further incorporated to allow playback of pre-existing material in superimposition with new material being recorded, thus allowing near real-time viewing of special effects.
